Assessment

We review your document and provide advice on the structure and content that are best suited to your readership.

write

We use the information you give us to draft content for your document. We can prepare a draft by researching related material, developing text from your preparatory points or from our notes, when we meet with you or talk to you by phone.

format

We will develop a template for your document and apply styles to every element, including headings, bullet points, tables and figures. Your document will look good and be visually consistent and able to be published as a Word file or transferred quickly and accurately into design software such as InDesign.

edit

We provide any or all levels of edit—substantive edit, copy edit and verification edit. If you engage us for a substantive edit we will look at structure, content, language and style. For a copy edit, we will look at consistency, clarity and grammatical correctness. For a verification edit, we will check that your document is complete, the required style has been followed and format and layout are consistent.

index

We will prepare an index that gives your readers quick access to important and related information in your document.

Proofread

We will proofread your document before it goes to print or is uploaded to the internet. Our proofreading checklist will ensure that our proofread is comprehensive, thorough and complete.

design

We will work with your designated designer or commission a designer on your behalf. Our experience working with many designers over many years will ensure that your publication project proceeds smoothly and that your publication is of a consistently high standard at every stage of its development.

Print

We will work with your designated printer or commission a printer on your behalf. We will check the printer’s proofs and, in association with the designer, do other pre-press checks.

epub

We will work with your designated epublisher or commission an epublisher on your behalf. We will check the PDF and ensure that the HTML document is complete and in the correct order and that all links are correct and working. We will check that all accessibility requirements for e-documents have been met.

Finished product

This is where you can put your feet up and relax in the knowledge that your publication has been prepared and checked by professionals and is now complete.
